Traffic, national flags of Iran Storyline The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Monday strongly condemned what it described as renewed "Iranian aggression using missiles and drones" against the country, according to a statement by the UAE's foreign ministry. The statement said the attacks targeted civilian sites and represent a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable act of aggression that directly threatens the country's security, stability and territorial integrity. It said the UAE has "full and legitimate right" to respond to the attacks. Earlier on Monday, multiple missile and drone attacks struck UAE, including the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, injuring three Indian nationals, local authorities said. Also on Monday, the UAE Ministry of Defense said that its air defense systems intercepted 12 ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles and four drones launched from Iran. The ministry said that it is maintaining the highest levels of readiness and preparedness to respond to any threats. Following the attacks, Iran's state-run IRIB news agency reported, citing a senior military source, that Iran has no plans to target the UAE. Citing another military source, the IRIB said that Iran had no pre-designed plan to attack the oil facilities, blaming instead "U.S. military adventurism" for creating "a passage for ships to illegally pass through the forbidden passages of the Strait of Hormuz." The source said that "the U.S. military must be held accountable for it." The source also said that U.S. officials must end "the ugly behavior of using force in the diplomatic process and stop military adventurism" in the waters of West Asia.
